What the fuck is this, I love it. Like literally what genre or format or whatever is this sort of thing? Like a surreal long form emotional webcomic?
Idk exactly, but maybe some type of cozy fantasy?

Warbreaker is not cozy lol
It seems like magical realism to me
I'm from latin america and can confirm ;)
Lots of "comics" are like this, actually.
If you're on Instagram i can share some artists with you.
I have an IG account, I don’t use it much but I’d love to see more like this for sure
Not all of these are super similar to the posted comic, but i thought they were close enough to share. Also, i passed over many other artists who explore similar themes in their own ways and deserve to be shared. But I didn't want to overwhelm.
They are in no particular order.
Please enjoy this selection of some of my favorite artists on Instagram.
CW: sketched nudity, dark thoughts, emotions, etc.
